in the address bar type in about:plugins and see if you have WMP 
listed and if so, what version.

If not, are you sure you have wmp9 or 10 installed?  If it is, then 
close Moz and look for the files of npwmsdrm.dll, npwmsdrm.dll, and 
npdsplay.dll and copy them over to the plugin directory of the Mozilla 
Program Directory.  Now restart Moz.  Does this help?

If not, then try the Registry Patch under known issues from here: 
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows-all.html#WMP

Does that help? If not, then come back and we'll try something else.
